Interesting Tidbits

• Ivan is getting a bit of an attitude and lets us know when he doesn’t like something, but he is happy most of the time
• Sits and does not fall over
• Ivan rolls over both ways – can make some distance in the room just from rolling
• Two teeth
• Eats lots of purees – his favorite is peas.
• He is saying more syllables – strings them together (gagadada is his favorite)
• He is talkative mostly when alone, or with just one person.  Immediately stops if someone else starts talking to him (so polite)
• stopped sleeping through the night this month, but is getting better
• Was too sick for his surgery in December; rescheduled for January 22
• Cries when he sees me at daycare (until I pick him up)
• Loves his daycare teachers (lights up for them)
• First Christmas
• Got a real crib for Christmas!
• This month we still think he looks like Emily – but clearly has mike’s jaw line, ears, long legs, and mouth – blonde, fuzzy, curly hair.

Ivan Loves:

• chewing on things
• his Sophie
• reading books
• holding hands
• stroller rides
• cuddling
• finding a screen that lights up
• watches

Ivan Hates:

• being left alone
• putting on shirts (sleeves)
• being strapped in his carseat or stroller
• when he can see his bottle, but he is not drinking it yet
• food with any texture

Things we’ve learned this month:

• Teething sucks
• We like Nosefrida, Ivan does not

We found a second tooth that popped through this morning. Now Ivan has two bottom teeth. This explains the sleepless nights these last few weeks…
